A survey of 1,075 people by retailmenot.com found that cash, checks and gift cards remain popular choices, cited as preferred by half the respondents. On average, respondents say $165 is an appropriate cash gift for high-school graduates, while $464 is good for someone earning a bachelor's degree. If your friend or relative just attained a graduate degree, plan on shelling out about $772. Those figures are averages, not round numbers.
For some people giving $20 would be a stretch. I think a lot of how much you give depends on how close you are to these nieces and nephews. If not close--if you don't see them or stay in touch, I'd give a lower amount. I gave $50 to my kids' friends on high school graduation.But for close kids or family, I'd give $100. am truly shocked. I wouldn't DARE give somebody less than $50 for a graduation gift (HS or college). When I graduated from HS a few years ago, neighbors/family friends gave between $50 and $100. Close family members gave between $150 and $500.
